§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are his plans for the level of the 1982 intake of postgraduate teacher training courses.
§ Dr. BoysonDuring the 1977 reorganisation of the teacher training system it was decided that entry to postgraduate and other one-year teacher training courses should total about 10,000 students annually from 1981 onwards. My right hon. and learned Friend expects to receive advice shortly from the advisory committee on the supply and education of teachers on whether it is desirable to reconsider that target.
